#1 Code won't compile as is...

[Anonymous]

This code won't compile as-is on a stock RedHat 7.2
box. It seems to use some C++ conventions. For example:

VOID ChessInit(CHAR color)
{
INT i,j,count=0;
CHAR * t;
CHAR chess[]="res/b_x.bmp";
if(color=='b')chess[4]='r';
CHAR * map[10]={
"zmxsjsxmz",
"000000000",
...

You'll get an error on the "CHAR * map[10]={" because
put it after an "if" statement. This is not legal C code.

I tried to clean it up, and got something to compile
and run, but it had some problems freeing things that
it should have. So when I click on one of the buttons
on the main screen it crashes. I could post more
details later once I can compile without making edits.

i think you should download the lastest SDL library,and compile
again .my environment is redhat 8.0 with SDL-1.2.3

I also have difficulty in compiling the source code via
Dev-CPP 4.9.9.2 on windows.
I have downloaded SDL library and put SDL.lib,SDL_mixer.lib,
SDLmain.lib on the same directory as SDL_demo.dev
the absolute path of SDL_mixer.lib is also updated in
SDL_demo.dev
Now I have the following error:
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "D:\Onega\test\cchess\Makefile.win"

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make.exe: *** [cchess.exe] Error 1

I am an experienced Visual C++ programmer but not good at
Dev-CPP. Your help is appreciated.

steps to compile the source code with Dev-CPP
Download
http://www2.tw.freebsd.org/cygwin/release/gcc-mingw/gcc-mingw-objc/gcc-mingw-objc-20050522-1.tar.bz2
and unzip libobjc.a to D:\Apps\Dev-Cpp\lib\libobjc.a
Edit D:\Onega\test\cchess\SDL_demo.dev
remove "-lSDLmain -lSDL" from the following line
Linker=-lwsock32 -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows
"D:\Onega\test\cchess\SDL_mixer.lib"_@@_
Build SDL library with VC++ 6.0, copy sdl.lib and
sdlmain.lib to
D:\Onega\test\cchess\SDL.a
D:\Onega\test\cchess\SDLmain.a
Add sdl.a and sdlmain.a to Dev-CPP project options
->parameters: linker
Modify D:\Onega\test\cchess\main.c
int APIENTRY WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow
)
/*INT main(INT argc,CHAR * argv[])*/
{
GlobalInit();
Game_UIMain();
Game_Exec();
}

The build problem is fixed by phoenix96_2000(eXMe). He also
faced undefined references to '_alloca_probe' problem and
fixed it via adding winmm library -lwinmm
